The news in on in my home anytime we're home, my son has his own TV in his room where ihe is only allowed to watch G rates tapes. We don't usually gaurd him from the News but when it comes to Jerry Springer there is no way he will be able to view that.
We had a natural disaster here ( hurricanes) and we had to explain what a hurricane was and why there we're men in uniform wlaking down the streets with guns to protect looters ( witch he thought was pretty cool) So when he see's the Tusaumi things on TV he can relate that to the "scarry storm" as he calls it. Greg also has alot of military pics, awards and such hung in the office he also watches alot of Old War movies, and we go to the airshow where he sees the Military people but he views them in a GIJoe hero way.
I don't think children needed to be "gaurded" from the reality of things but they do need to be thouroghly explained at an age approiprate level.
